A trio of intertwined novellas from the 2014 Nobel laureate for literature In this essential trilogy of novellas by the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature, French author Patrick Modiano reaches back in time, opening the corridors of memory and exploring the mysteries to be encountered there. Each novella in the volume??Afterimage, Suspended Sentences, and Flowers of Ruin??represents a sterling example of the author's originality and appeal, while Mark Polizzotti's superb English-language translations capture not only Modiano's distinctive narrative voice but also the matchless grace and spare beauty of his prose. Although originally published separately, Modiano's three novellas form a single, compelling whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place and characters. Modiano draws on his own experiences, blended with the real or invented stories of others, to present a dreamlike autobiography that is also the biography of a place. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangers??each appears in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists. Shadowed by the dark period of the Nazi Occupation, these novellas reveal Modiano's fascination with the lost, obscure, or mysterious: a young person's confusion over adult behavior; the repercussions of a chance encounter; the search for a missing father; the aftershock of a fatal affair. To read Modiano's trilogy is to enter his world of uncertainties and the almost accidental way in which people find their fates.… (mer)
Three interesting novellas with interrelated themes of life in France, mostly Paris, during the 1960s, but with memories going back to the war and extending into the stories' present day. All are engaging, but just like life, there are no clear conclusions. The places and characters and the picture of life presented is very enjoyable, however, and as each story proceeds, we begin to understand what's going on a bit better.
The audiobook loses half a star because Bronson Pinchot reads the last novella in a French accent that requires way too much work to understand. Why on Earth? ( )
Easy reading, but intellectually fulfilling, which is far too rare for me to be too critical. The title novella was more interesting than the other two, though Afterimage was enjoyable enough. Flowers of Ruin reminded me far too much of Paul Auster, though Paul Auster written by someone who is aware of what sentences are. So there's that. I suspect this isn't the place to start with Modiano, but even so, it was pleasant enough. ( )
I did enjoy these stories, the mood so well done. However, I very much got the idea Modiano was looking at a map the whole time he was writing so he could be sure to put in every, single street he possibly could. ( )
Moments of intensity that often fade back into atmospheric, often blurry / sleepy narration. The length was just right, as I don't believe any of the three novellas had enough for a novel or would have enough space to breathe as short stories. ( )
Three novellas: 1: The first one is ok, a properly coloured short story of mild dislocation, disconnection, distance. 2: Not much, not really worth reading. 3:A writing exercise really, effectively empty. Nothing of quality except for an open ending seen through child's eyes. ( )
